- Friday's NFL preseason Week 2 slate features Steelers-Jets, Panthers-Jaguars, and Packers-Broncos, with all three games carrying over/unders between 37.5 and 41.5
- Steelers QB Drew Allar threw two touchdowns and ran for another in preseason Week 1, establishing him as a top DFS play heading into Friday's player pool
- Jets RB Braelon Allen is White's top DFS pick at $5,500 on DraftKings and $6,000 on FanDuel; with Breece Hall (groin) sidelined, Allen should see first-team reps after leading the team with 44 yards and a touchdown on just four carries last week
- Steelers WR Germie Bernard recorded 4 catches for 51 yards and led Pittsburgh with 5 targets in Week 1; the rookie second-round pick led Alabama last season with 64 catches for 862 yards and 7 touchdowns
- Panthers QB Kenny Pickett, on his fourth team in four years as a former first-round pick, completed 84.2% of his passes for 92 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 and had more pass attempts than all other Panthers QBs combined
- Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said only QBs Drew Allar and Will Howard will take snaps Friday, wanting to give young players a chance to impress
Why it matters: With all three Friday games carrying tight over/unders between 37.5 and 41.5, DFS players have limited scoring upside and must target players getting first-team reps. Braelon Allen ($5,500) and Germie Bernard are positioned as value plays because Breece Hall's groin injury and McCarthy's decision to limit snaps to two QBs concentrate touches on backups who are now the slate's most productive options.
